Micah 5 — parallel

5:1

Et toi, Bethléhem Éphrata,

Now, O daughter of troops, mobilize your troops; for a siege is laid against us! With a rod they will strike the cheek of the judge of Israel.

5:2

C’est pourquoi il les livrera

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are small of Judah, out of you will come forth for Me One to be ruler —One whose origins are of old, from the days of eternity.

5:3

Il se présentera, et il gouvernera avec la force de l’Éternel,

Therefore Israel will be abandoned until she who is in labor has given birth; then the rest of His brothers will return to the children of Israel.

5:4

C’est lui qui ramènera la paix.

He will stand and shepherd His flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majestic name of the LORD His God. And they will dwell securely, for then His greatness will extend to the ends of the earth.

5:5

Ils feront avec l’épée leur pâture du pays d’Assyrie

And He will be when Assyria invades our land and tramples our citadels. We will raise against it seven shepherds, even eight leaders of men.

5:6

Le reste de Jacob sera au milieu des peuples nombreux

And they will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the blade drawn. So He will deliver us when Assyria invades our land and marches into our borders.

5:7

Le reste de Jacob sera parmi les nations,

Then the remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass, which do not wait for man or linger for mankind.

5:8

Que ta main se lève sur tes adversaires,

Then the remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep, which tramples and tears as it passes through, with no one to rescue them.

5:9

En ce jour-là, dit l’Éternel,

Your hand will be lifted over your foes, and all your enemies will be cut off.
